Headed to Tampines to check out the Hokkaido Fair during lunch hour with colleagues and decided to have lunch at Swensons. There is currently a promotion - order a main/sandwich/pasta/pizza and get either a side dish, ice cream or drink free. I ordered a Tuna Ciabatta and my colleagues ordered the salmon/mushroom pasta. The tuna ciabatta was very good... generous amount of tuna, side serving of boiled veggies and the ciabatta was toasted to perfection! Light and crispy! I've always only associat
The tuna ciabatta was very good... generous amount of tuna, side serving of boiled veggies and the ciabatta was toasted to perfection! Light and crispy! I've always only associated Swensen's with ice-cream and not so much for food, so it was pleasantly surprising to find one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in the past year or so here! Both my colleagues had the salmon / mushroom linguine, and while they both thought it was ok, they agreed it was rather bland.
Since all of us needed a coffee boost for the 2nd half of our work day, we decided to skip ice-cream and had coffee instead. One of the rare times I'm at Swensen's and not tucking in to their ice cream ( my fave Coit Tower!!)
All in all, a pleasant lunch, although the air-conditioner was blasting in certain parts of the restaurant. Restaurant staff were generally good and friendly, and the first waitress who seated us was patient and allowed us to find a section where it wasn't so cold. Only 1 senior manageress or female supervisor was a tad "hoity-doity" when we were asking about our bill and the lunch promotion. Strange, the younger servers were all smiling and friendly, and they are supposed to be learning from their Seniors. Well, in this case, I hope not.
